Mango Sorbet

Serves 8

1½ cups sugar

1 cup water

6 ripe mangos

Juice of 1 lime

To make this tropical dessert creamy, but still non-dairy, add a can of coconut milk to the mix and reduce the mango purée slightly.

  • In a saucepan, combine sugar and water. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Cool sugar syrup to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled.

  • Cut mangoes on either side of the center seed. Scrape fruit from the peel into a blender container or food processor. Pour in chilled syrup and add lime juice. Process until puréed.

  • Prepare sorbet in a sorbet or ice-cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Keep on ice or in the freezer until ready to serve.
